Ford Motor Co., the No. 2 U.S. automaker, was sued by Pennsylvania car owners who said its hybrid models don’t deliver on fuel-efficiency claims.
Ford’s 2013 Fusion Hybrid and C-Max Hybrid models provide significantly worse fuel economy than the advertised 47 miles per gallon, according to a complaint filed today in federal court in Philadelphia. The inaccurate representations allowed Dearborn, Michigan-based Ford to falsely claim that those models outperformed competing vehicles, according to the car owners.
